God is Love – All the Time

God is Love – All the Time

God is love – all the time! There is never a time – past, present, or future  – where God is anything other than love! And Love is “not self seeking” (1Cor13) – all the time! There is never a time when love seeks itself. There is never a time when God seeks self.

  • For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton son… (John 3:16)
  • This is how we know what love is that Chirst gave his life for us and we ought to give our lives for your brothers (1John 3:16)
  • Greater love has no man than he give his life for his friends (John 15:13)

God is the creator and as creator He built and constructed everything in harmony with His own nature/character of love. He gave of Himself to create. He gives of Himself to sustain all that He created. This design template, this code upon which nature is built, is called God’s law. God’s law is love.

  • Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matt 22:37-40)
  • Love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:10)

What happens to a person if they deviate from the law upon which life was constructed to operate? What happens if a person chooses to stop drinking, eating or breathing? Will God be forced, by their disobedience to His laws of health, to exact a penalty and kill them, or will death be the inevitable outcome to those who remain out of harmony with God’s design for life (law)?

This is exactly what the Bible teaches. In the Bible, deviations from God’s design, breaking the law upon which He constructed life to operate, is called “sin.” So when you read “sin” think “breaking God’s construction protocols for life.” And the Bible is clear, just as breaking the laws of health naturally result in death, likewise breaking God’s moral law naturally results in death, unless Someone intervenes to save:

  • The wages (the payment from sin) of sin is death (Romans 6:23)
  • Sin when full grown brings death (James 1:15)

The Bible says we are “born in sin conceived in iniquity” (Psalms 51:5)

This means we are born in a condition which is out of harmony with the way God built life to operate. He built life to operate upon the law of love, the principle of selfless giving. But we are born selfish, egocentric, me-first, survival-of-the-fittest. In the Bible this condition of selfishness is called “sinfulness” or “carnal nature” and because this condition is out of harmony with God’s design for life, it is a terminal condition. Without remedy, without divine intervention we will all die – FROM THIS CONDITION. Because life can only exist in harmony with the way God built it to run.

We are born “dead in our transgressions and sins” (Ephesians 2:1, Col 2:13). In other words we are born in a terminal condition.

This is why Jesus came. To bring us back to trust in God and to provide remedy to our condition, to overcome fear and selfishness, to restore in humanity God’s perfect law of love, to rebuild humanity back into God’s original ideal. Christ Jesus overcame where Adam failed!

In Christ Jesus we have a Savior, a remedy, a new heart, mind, character, motive, attitude that all may receive freely. When we trust Him the Holy Spirit is sent and takes all Christ has achieved and reproduces it in us. Our fears are removed, our need to protect self is eroded and our desire to love others grows. We get a “new heart and right spirit” (PS 51). We have the “law written on the heart and mind (Heb 8:11). We “become partakers of the divine nature” (2Pet 2:14). We become like Jesus in heart and mind, loving God and others more than self!

This is what God wants for us and this is what Satan wants to prevent. Therefore Satan has created an elaborate counterfeit, a counterfeit which deceived angels, a counterfeit which deceived millions, a counterfeit which caused God’s chosen people to put Christ on the cross. We face that same counterfeit today. A counterfeit that makes God out to be the source of pain, suffering and death rather than the protector, redeemer and healer.

I have found it fascinating that some people resist this God of love and are offended at the idea that sin kills, whereas God saves. Instead, such persons argue for a God who tortures and kills. A friend in Singapore emailed me yesterday and referred me to a website which criticizes me by name. The very first criticism states:

“In short, Dr. Jennings believes that God takes no initiative in causing prolonged pain during the destruction of the wicked, and that to prolong or cause punitive suffering is torture and that such a view of God (that he would cause prolonged pain as part of punishment) destroys love and trust.”

Wow, people arguing for a God who will use His power to inflict pain on His creatures, arguing for a God who will actually cause a miracle to torture His children. What do you think? Which version of God do you believe is true? What Jesus said, “if you’ve seen me you’ve seen the Father, the Father and I are one.” (When did Jesus torture anyone?) Or what Satan alleges that God must torture His children? Do you prefer a God who is above earthly pettiness, above human passion, above selfish vengeance? Or do you prefer a God who is less like Jesus and more like some earthly ruler?

According to Scripture we are in a war over the “knowledge of God” (2Cor 10:5) and we have before us two God concepts – one in which God is the cosmic inflictor of pain, suffering and death. The other in which God is love, the great creator who built His universe to run only in harmony with His own nature of love. And in this universe sin, deviations from God’s design, is what causes pain, suffering and death while God our creator has poured out all heaven to stop sin and “fix”/heal His creation!

The real issue is who do you understand God to be? Is God love – all the time, or is God something other than love – a being or tortures and kills? This is the question, what answer will you choose?

For those who are confused because of passages in the Bible which describe God using His power to destroy, or threatening to destroy, please see these blogs:

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

 

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Wheinny P., University Place, WA, USA

 

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, USA

 

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

Clara S., Westfield, MA, USA
